Except for the "vote for the Democratic nominee" no matter who it is. That doesn't sit well with me, but the rest of the video was great!

PEACE
LOVE

That has nothing to do with telling people to vote for the Democratic nominee, no matter who it is. Some people have principles and can't vote for warmongers or people who support everything they abhor and some people find it insulting to be told whom they have to vote for.

One person, one vote....it's theirs to cast as they see fit.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

I do have one disagreement, however small. The speaker assumes that the vote rigging against Bernie would be at the same level of Hillary. Yet, if they have already invested in her, why should they be as concerned about her winning than Bernie? They would have more to lose should Bernie become the nominee, and I would imagine go full-throttle cheat mode if he is.

However, the only way Bernie wins is if Bernie is the nominee.... I will rephrase the only way a Democratic candidate wins the White House in 2016 is if Bernie Sanders is the nominee.... The right is going to go after Hillary on her integrity, honesty and judgment... Trump is already starting the salvo's...Although the video did a great job of explaining the red blue state voting pattern it failed to highlight the typical voters and what drives them to the polls, if you get a suppressed turnout it tends to favor the Repub.... In any event the Independent middle is who typically sways an election to either the left or right and they typically follow someone that has a serious agenda and honesty and integrity play majorly with them... Hillary will be attacked on her record as Secstate which is largely results oriented and we certainly are not in a good place in the world right now.... Next she will be attacked on her various scandals dredging up the old and hammering on the new, the emails a problem of her own making, and if she gets indicted after the primaries it will be too late to regain traction with an alternative candidate, why should we risk that? Next will be the attack that counters the war on women theme she is depending on, Bill surrounded by a harem of his actual affairs and accusers followed with Clintons personal war on women, where was Hillary defending these women when they charged rape etc, it will get ugly her judgment to stand behind her man will be dredged up and in the end people will be reminded of the past, that will never win an election...

So my point remains... We better get this right....

I'm seeing more and more of these type of videos and as this one said, Social Media is where it's at! Even I, who rarely used FB for much of ANYTHING have been sharing posts from here and other places all the time. I no longer watch MSM, opting for FSTV, RT, Al Jazeera, OAM (sometime) and LINK and of course uTube and all the rest.

So, apparently his voice is being heard, but IF you only watched the crap that's being fed to you, or keep checking polls all the time and posting them daily, it means nothing! Polling is what "THEY" use to try to make you go with what appears to be a "winner" because of high polling numbers. In today's media, the OLD WAY is OUT OF DATE! I'm a Boomer who used to think polls were an indicator of what will be. Now that I'm older and have kids and grand kids I SEE CLEARLY from them that polling is very difficult to do. Too many people simply aren't available as they once were. NOBODY get's my cell phone number, and in fact my number is included with a family plan and not actually in my name. SOOOOOO, I'm not polled.

I do have a land line and can be reached, so that is a possibility. Still it depends on whether I want to answer or not.

Anyway, things have changed and I'm seeing it more and more.

And what I'm also seeing is how totally disillusioned I've become in our very own Democratic Party! They've seemed to have rolled over for Hillary and are willing to do whatever needs to be done to keep the MONEY ROLLING in.

I would also like to add that MOST of my Bernie supporter friends COMPLETELY realize that he's only one person and if elected we and he know that not everything can be accomplished. BUT, if he should get elected, that in and of itself will be sending a very STRONG message to a U.S. Congress that does very, very little. In fact it seems it tries to do as little as it can!

SO.... GO BERNIE! We are gathering steam day by day!

Still not convinced as many are that Bernie will be our nominee, but I'm praying to the FSM on my knees every night that he will be.
